A Heritage Digital Twin for Serra Da Estrela Cheese Production

This paper presents the design of a heritage digital twin of the Serra da Estrela cheesemaking process. The proposed solution integrates traditional knowledge with digital capabilities to ensure the preservation and sustainable practices of this intangible cultural heritage. Design science research is the selected approach to create a digital replica of the cheesemaking process, refined through iterative design and development phases, stakeholder interviews, and field demonstrations. The findings reveal that a heritage digital twin enables (1) memorization of local practices, (2) real-time monitoring and decision support, and (3) audit traces. It upholds traditional methods while enhancing resource efficiency and compliance with health standards. This work pioneers the application of digital twins to the cultural heritage of local food production, adhering to the requirements of protected designation of origin

Specifications of a device interface for service-oriented automation control components

Service-oriented paradigm is being used to develop distributed and reconfigurable control solutions for factory automation environments. Since service-oriented automation control components are logical entities that provide and consume services, they may have an interface that maps the logical processes into the actions of the representative physical mechatronics. The inter-connection with the physical hardware devices, namely accessing I/Os, is a crucial issue to achieve the vertical IT-enterprise integration in these service-oriented systems, covering the shop floor device control level. This paper describes a device interface approach, in the context of a service-oriented control architecture, in which High-level Petri nets are used as the control description to access to the physical device. The outgoing features of the solution allow integrating the physical behavior into the control of automation components and consequently thereby incorporate it in the modular service-oriented control architecture

COVID-19 risk perception and confidence among clinical dental students: impact on patient management

Communication abstract: Proceedings of the 5th International Congress of CiiEM - Reducing inequalities in Health and Society, held at Egas Moniz’ University Campus in Monte de Caparica, Almada, from June 16th to 18th, 2021.This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.This study aimed to assess COVID-19 perceived risk, confidence and its impact on potentially infected patients’ management practices, in a clinical dental education setting. The survey was conducted by application of a self-administered questionnaire amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Results indicate high COVID-19 perceived risk and confidence levels (86.7% and 72.8%, respectively). A significantly lower risk perception was identified for individuals classifying COVID-19 as a moderately dangerous disease and confidence was significantly lower for women and for individuals not previously exposed to confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19. No factor-related significant differences were found on potentially infected patients’ management practices.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Tooth reattachment and palatal veneer on a multidisciplinary approach of crown fractures in upper central incisors

Dental trauma is more common in young patients and its sequelae may have great impact on the esthetics, functions, and phonetics. This paper reports a case of trauma in both central incisors in a young 17-year-old patient who was treated using adhesive tooth fragment reattachment on tooth 2.1 and a palatal indirect composite veneer on tooth 1.1. Regarding the available literature and fracture extension, the treatment approach proposed for this case provided good functional and esthetic outcomes. Clinical and radiographic results after 1 year were successful. This case demonstrates the importance of establishing a multidisciplinary approach for successful dental trauma management.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Deep learning method to identify fire ignitions

The SAFe project aims to create and implement a set of innovative operations that minimize the time of forest ignitions identification contributing to the development of the Trás-os-Montes region. Thus, it is intended to locate a set of sensors in the forest, data information will be collected, and the artificial intelligence algorithm Deep Learning will be applied to achieve the intended end. Numerical results demonstrated the approach reliability.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
